Trump on Sunday accused Democrats of 'undercutting our Country' by scheduling the 'most ridiculous' hearing 'on [the] same dates as NATO.'
In a five-page letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler on Sunday, the White House declined to participate in the first Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing this week and condemned the ongoing Democrat-led process as"baseless" and"highly partisan.", signed by Counsel to the President Pat A.
In a tweet on Sunday afternoon, the president also accused Democrats of"undercutting our Country" by scheduling the"most ridiculous" hearing"on [the] same dates as NATO." Your letter"vaguely indicates that you intend to hold a hearing to discuss the 'historical and constitutional basis of impeachment,'" Cipollone wrote."We understand this to mean that your initial hearing will include no fact witnesses at all."
